California has the worst drought in its history. Water supplies are at very low levels. The government has done many things to try to stop water running out. Farmers will now help. They will cut back on using water by 25 per cent. This will be voluntary. California's governor also cut water use in cities by 25 per cent. This made many city people angry. They did not want to be the only ones to have to use less water.
California's water system serves over 30 million people. It waters six million acres of farmland. It is the world's biggest water system. It has many problems. Too many people want too little water. Farmers say they need it most because they grow food. People in the cities say they need it to live. People who own golf courses and swimming pools also use a lot of water. California’s population will be almost 50 million in the year 2020.
